What types of tours typically start from Frankfurt-am-Main?

Frankfurt-am-Main serves as a gateway for both river adventures and land-based European explorations. Visitors can explore the city's contrasts from the historic Goethe House to the modern banking district's glass towers before embarking on their journey. River cruises on vessels like the A-ROSA CLEA provide an intimate setting for Rhine River exploration while multi-country land tours offer broader European discovery.

A TourRadar traveler shared: "Starting with the Rhine cruise was magical - seeing all those hilltop castles while sipping local wine set the perfect tone for the rest of the journey."
